Not sure I understand the question: I built something somewhat similar a few years ago; it was 56 by 78 feet. Center was 28 by 56; 8 inch by 8 inch posts around center; 7 inch by 7 inch posts around perimeter........all sawn from used utiliy poles. Fourteen foot alley around 3 sides with front open. The alley(s) had feed troughs w/stanchions around the inside. The lumber was all sawn off the farm and I used rafters w/collar ties rather than trusses. Center was concrete, but alleys were dirt. Best I recall, there was room for about 150 head of calves to eat, which I hand-fed with 5 gallon buckets. Feed was cracked/ground shelled corn and whole cottonseed. Had a large (wooden) bin in the middle where the cottonseed was stored before it was mixed in the grinder; there was also room for a tractor, the grinder/mixer and about a week's worth of ground feed. Other tractor w/grain buggy with the shelled corn was kept in another building. One man could feed the calves in about 15 minutes. There was a gate in the back leading to the corral next door. Don't think I have any pictures.......
